UK Company Tests Autonomous Factory
CloudNC partners with DMG MORI to develop AI-driven manufacturing technology toward goal of ‘perfect parts delivered in any quantity in a matter of days, on-time and to-spec every time, at half of today’s price.’
Hexagon Acquires D.P. Technology
The deal enhances Hexagon’s CAM market position, especially with regards to CNC manufacturing processes.
BobCAD-CAM Updates Software Program
BobCAD-CAM V33 offers more functionality than ever before. This version has 36 upgrades and enhancements affecting general CAD; BobART; general, mill, and lathe CAM; and simulation.
Growing CNC Services With 5-Axis Milling
McAfee Tool & Die is successful because it’s always ready to take a leap of faith with new technology. When owner Gary McAfee bought a 5-axis machine, he realized it was time to update the shop’s CAD/CAM software.
CAD/CAM Software Suite Adds Virtual Machining, Additive Manufacturing, and Automation Capabilities
The latest versions of the hyperMILL CAD/CAM software suite from Open Mind Technologies AG encompasses a wide range of user-friendly enhancements and new machining strategies to advance the capabilities for accurate, efficient 3D and 5-axis machining.
ESPRIT Announces Extended Support for Mazak Smooth Ai CNC
DP Technology, parent company of ESPRIT CAM, has created a streamlined machining experience with ESPRIT’s digital twin inside the CNC. Users can preview the entire machining process virtually on the CNC before executing their program it.
Artificial Intelligence-Powered CAD Sketching Technology
Siemens’ NX Sketch software offers unconstrained concept design sketching within the 3D environment to help increase productivity. Remarkably, NX can recognize tangents and other design relationships to adjust on the fly.
CAM Software Supports Two Additive Manufacturing Processes
DP Technology has tweaked its flagship Esprit CAM software platform to serve a growing fabrication market: 3-D metal printing using powder bed fusion (PBF) and directed energy deposition (DED).
Widely Compatible CAM Probing Cycles for Better Setup, Accuracy
DP Technology, maker of the ESPRIT CAM software, offers a probing option that works with many CNC machines and probing manufacturers. Shops can expect improved part consistency and quality while reducing operator intervention.
Real-Time Machining Simulation for Digital Dentistry
ModuleWorks, Bosch Rexroth and CIMT combined their respective simulation, CNC and milling expertise to create new efficiencies for dental labs and practices. An operator can simulate the dental machining process offline and fix problems before the real job begins.
MecSoft-RoboDK Partnership Facilitates Milling with Robots
The synergistic alliance between Mecsoft and RobotDK means milling solutions can be adapted for robotic milling applications. The RobotDK simulation software supports over 500 robot arms and more than 50 different robot controllers.
